May I please ask a couple of questions that have been confusing me
over the last game year?
1) Can we get a report, or show me where the report exists, of what
the center counts actually are at the moment? Counting the units and
the builds etc. is quite tedious, so I actually have no idea how to
react to Tom's note.
2) Plus, I thought the de facto standard for "solos" is more than half
the centers. Am I wrong? The Knights are NOWHERE near half the
centers. If so, what IS the center count for a solo?
3) Is this Diplomacy or Tiddlywinks? Just because someone is "tight
with their neighbors", does that mean all bets are off? I recognize
the value in "group negotiation", but lack the context....
Cheers,
Jim-Bob

May I suggest we vote to reward the Knights with the win?
He has a huge lead, he is tight with those closest to him and the main
opponent in the Pirates (me) was stabbed by the Hobbits, I warned the
Hobbits if he stabbed me and my chances were no longer there, I would
assure him he could not lose by throwing what I have at him AND by handing
centers to the Knights.
No way do I allow a Hobbit stab to give him a chance so the Knights now
have a cake walk, the Hobbits made a very BIG mistake indeed. ...may as
well end it now?

Some big swings this round! Several people up 2 or 3, and normally that
would be pretty cool! But then we have the Knights and their +5...

Both Garry of the Wizards and Michael of the Ogres are eliminated! And the
Undead plunge into Civil Disorder, having missed two consecutive turns.
This reduces our game to 10 players!
